Hit an exposed rock trying to go straight over and avoid a switchback ๐Ÿ™„ on the edge/corner of the monocque. Its about 5mmx2mm dented on ridge of the downtube so nowhere near the BB and not near the weld (I remember recently someone had a dent on the weld itself?). Opinions? I think its ok/not structural- kinda cosmetic. Orange-peeps here, agree?

Never dented a frame before (cracked yes, never dented though)- just questioning as its monocque ๐Ÿ™‚
